In the first three or four years of \"serious\" writing, I mostly wrote little hokku-like poems on little scrap pieces of paper I kept in my pockets and later recorded in my journals--desert breaths, sighs, groans with sexual-geographical overtones--jotted down while teaching school on a ranch in Arizona, hitch-hiking all over the Southwest, and trekking deep into the wilderness. Then, the first longer poems were actually juxtapositions of these little pieces--montages, compositions, jazz riffs and solos.\u003cp\u003e It is important to note that none of these poems were composed in any rational, deliberate manner--never having attempted write a \"conventional\" poem with conventional rhyme, meter, etc. The things I write down are the spontaneous recordings of images, events, and ideas that make up the substance of daily experience, hence the title of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"...full of vivid imagery and imaginative language\" (Arlene Rivera, Flume Press)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"The worlds you create unravel with great beauty \" (Nancy Goldfarb, 2002 Cleveland State University Poetry Center Prize.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"...astounding and gorgeous....
